In de souf,' especially In the coun-
try regions where ante-war notions
still to great extent prevail, there is
much jealousy and ill-feeling between
the full blooded negroes and the half
breed negroes between the black
niggers and the yaller niggers,' as
the white corner grocery loungers OF
these parts call them. Curiously
enough, the black negroes profess TO
consider themselves greatly superior
TO the mulattoes, Notwithstanding the
latter's admixture of white blood.
They declare that when that gathering
together OF the nations of the earth
spoken Of in the Bible takes place
there will be no place for the mulattoes
and negroes of mixed blood, because
being neither white nor black these
'ant got no nashan, and consequently
can't be gathered in.

north as was shown by scene beheld

Peasant shooting is the favorite

although His Majesty fancies that he
has brought down several. The way

The Ditch Constructing Firm of
Brown & Kennedy Dissolved.
Kennedy Steals the Funds and
Leaves Brown the Contracts.

A rumor was floating about the city last
evening to the effect that the ditch contract
ing firm of Brown & Kennedy, which has
been operating in Goshen Hole, had been
dissolved, and hat Kennedy had de-
camped with between 81 POO and 81, 500
of the cOpartnership funds. Mr.. Henry
Brown, who is an old timer in this Sec
ton, was found by a LEADER reporter
last evening and verified the report.
Kennedy had, he said, come to the city
and drawn 81 200 due the firm, after
which he made himself scarce. So soon
as Mr.. Brown learned of his partners
crookedness he endeavored to trace the
fugitive and recover, if possible, a portion
of the plumber He was unsuccessful,
and the thief is still at large.
Mr.. Brown, who is known to be an
honest, hard working man, is considera-
bly, embarrassed over the affair, as he
could ill afford to lose the money. He
will be compelled to borrow or abandon
his contracts. Mr.. Brown originally fur
nlshed a greater portion of the capital
employed by the firm, and assisted and
aided Kennedy because of the %latter's
superior business qualifications.
That the man whom he so kindly
helped and implicitly trusted should be-
tray his confidence and add robbery to in
gratitude is naturally very chagrining to
MIR. Brown, who never refuses to do a
good deed when it lies within his power.
As he is so well and favorably known in
this locality, he will doubtless recover
from his present awkward situation.
Kennedy is a Pennsylvania and was
born and reared neal Philadelphia. He
is Is years of age, has a graceful carriage,
dresses well and is pleasing and even in
sinuating in his address. Kennedy is
dark complexioned, small black NOUS
tache, five feet seven inches tall and
weighs 100 pounds. AS he was yet
almost a total stranger in this locality but
little is known of his habits, though it is
stated that he was temperate and knew
nothing about gambling. There is as yet
no clue to his whereabouts.

A Enlightened Horse.

There was a lively runaway on Themes
street yesterday. A horse attached to a
carriage in which was seated Mrs. j. T..
Morgan and daughter, became frightened
at the antics of some youthful base ballists
who we're disturbing the neighborhood in
the vicinity of Twentieth street. The
animal became manageable and dashed
down Themes street at a terrific rate of
speed. At the corner of Nineteenth
street the conveyance was capsized and
the occupants dashed violently to the
ground. Fortunately they sustained no
serious injuries and were able to walk
home. The horse, with the carriage still
attached to him. was captured a few miles
south Of the city last evening.

THE SHOPS TO BE BUILT.
The Burlington Dr. Missouri VIII Con-
struct Shops IN Cheyenne.


Under the above caption the Denver
Republican of yesterday morning has the
following:
The Burlington & NJ issouri authori-
ties have decided to build extensive ma
chine or car shops in Cheyenne. This
will be of vast Importance to that city
and will draw to Cheyenne as permanent
residents a force of some 400 working
men, many of whom will have families. "
The Republican is recognized authority
upon all matters connected with the Bur
linGton & Missouri, and the correctness of
the above cannot be questioned.
The probabilities are that CHEYENNE
will not be the terminus of the Burlington
n Missouri, for it is certain that the road
will continue northward and westerly, but
1t is asserted by those in positions where
the most accurate information is available
that the western headquarters of the road
will be in this city. 1t is an acknowl-
edged fact that the Burlington & Missouri
or any other company can build and main
tain shops in Cheyenne cheaper than in
any Nebraska city, and they must have
extensive shops west of the Missouri
river.
